The *No-Bake* Fridge Cake To Serve Up This Summer

Wimbledon fortnight has begun and while we’re excited for the ball play, our eyes are fixed firmly on the…er… strawbs. C’mon do you blame us? Strawberries and cream is the classic summertime combo to smash our sweet cravings – a total dessert winner.

So to celebrate strawberry love by the punnet load, here’s a recipe with maximum points for minimum effort – you don’t even need an oven. A cake you don’t have to bake? Pretty much our perfect match huh…
